Collier crash survivor in search of those who saved his life

Published: Updated:

NAPLES, Fla. Zach Jackson is on a mission to find the people who saved his life.

Jackson was on his way to a doctor’s appointment Monday when his car spiraled and went up in flames on the side of the Interstate 75.

Jackson was released from the hospital Friday with only a few scratches and bruises thanks to the people who dragged him out from the fiery car.

“I would have burned in my car and my wife would have been a widow right now,” Jackson said. “I don’t remember a lot of anything, I just remember waking up in the hospital.”

Jackson and his wife are determined to track down the good Samaritans who helped him get out of the car.

“People are putting things on Facebook, they’re forwarding it to all their friends and
sharing it and we’re just trying to find out who it is and if they’re willing to come forward so we can thank them hopefully in person,” Jackson said.
